Thanks for the fast response.

Naturally, now our Exchange server is down. :)

As soon as it comes back to life I'll give this a whirl. I appreciate it very much.

I just tried to talk with Comcast and they basically told me to pound sand because I wasn't the account holder. I was hoping to obtain info from them directly as nailing down our town's IT Director, explaining to him what I'm trying to accomplish, and having him call as the account holder is going to be virtually impossible.

I know Comcast is blocking port 25 and requires an alternate port for their own SMTP servers, as I have to use an alternate port when sending e-mail via smtp.comcast.net .

Right now I'm using e-mails via Outlook through our town's exchange server to send out pages to these phones. Is there a way to configure Pagegate to use this exchange server? I'm also a registered user of Notpager Pro, but I can't get it to send them through our exchange server, they are rejected every time. This is likely something I'm doing wrong. Do you have any thoughts on that as an alternative? As we spent the $$ on Pagegate and it's a very effective program for us I'd like to continue using it, but this is a real nightmare at this point.

I appreciate the help as this is almost certainly no fault of your software, but external forces of evil hell bent on ruining my day.... :-)

Hello,

I am also having recent issues where I am suddenly unable to SMTP to Verizon Wireless and AT&T phones. There are a few similar threads here from my research. MPD is a registered user of PageGate.

Here is the result of my telnet to smtp-bb.vtext.com 25, as it is one of the ones that is not accepting messages from me all of a sudden.

554 njbrspamp2.vtext.com

Connection to host lost.

I have made no software changes to precipitate this issue, it just stopped functioning. Pages sent to American Messaging pagers and Nextel phones via SNPP continue to work normally for the most part.
